A wonderful gift from .

It was a lovely day at the park and Marshall was taking his daily walk. Along the way, he saw a big golden retriever that goes by the name of Bally The Dog with a tennis ball in his mouth, and was looking for somebody to play fetch with.

When Bally saw Marshall strolled by, he ran up to the diapered fox and sat in a begging position while doing a puppy whine with the ball in his mouth.

"Awww". said Marshall. "Does the big puppy want to play ball with me?"

Bally nodded his head and wagged his tail.

"Okay". said Marshall. He took the ball out of Bally's mouth, wiped off the drool with his shirt, and said "Okay boy, FETCH!!!"

Marshall then threw the ball and Bally gave out a bark as he ran after the ball. Once he found the ball, he picked up the ball with his teeth and headed back to Marshall.

"Good boy!" said Marshall as he patted Bally's head. Then he took the ball out of the dog's mouth and said "Okay boy, fetch it again!"

Marshall then threw the ball, and once again Bally retrieved the ball back to Marshall.

Marshall and Bally played fetch several more until Marshall replied "That's all boy. No more. I have to continue with my walk".

But Bally didn't want Marshall to leave. He started to beg, do the puppy whine, and even gave Marshall the sad puppy dog eyes stare.

"Awww, don't be sad puppy". said Marshall while scratching Bally's ears to calm him down. Then he had an idea. "I'll tell you what, I'll play with you tomorrow. Same time, same place. Is that a good idea?"

Bally barked with approval and gave Marshall a friendly dog lick.

And so the two went their separate ways. Marshall continued with his walk in the park while Bally went back home with his ball in his mouth.

Thank you for the gift pic Bally! Hope you enjoy the story!
